00:58:55 Ok. All settled in a debate watch party. All ready for the show. Let’s go!
01:03:10 As I mentioned on Curmudgeon’s Corner this last week, this debate format is nuts. Too many people. They should have made the cut a lot tighter. Most of these people should not even be on the stage. Sorry.
01:03:39 No intro statements. That is interesting, but makes sense given they have 10 people up there. Get right into it.
01:05:09 Beto looks like Lurch.
01:06:23 These lightning round style questions suck. Again, bad format. Too many questions. Not enough time for these people to talk.
01:06:50 Beto pulls out the Spanish!
01:07:42 Beto completely doesn’t answer the question though. :-/
01:10:49 Warren gets her second question because she was mentioned, before all the others get to talk. I presume this will happen a lot. #DemDebate
01:13:05 I’ve always wanted to do a debate transcript where I go and black out anything that isn’t a direct response to the question. In every single debate, it would be mostly black. #DemDebate
01:13:08 Retweeted @Carrasquillo 01:11:15 They’ve gone to Warren for a second time but others haven’t spoken once.The ghost of Ben Carson stirs.
01:15:11 Who is this Delaney guy again? #DemDebate
01:17:29 I don’t even know who this guy is. Oh. Ryan. OK. Still don’t know who he is. #DemDebate
01:20:18 2/10 for government run healthcare replacing employer-linked health insurance. Interesting.
01:22:51 So far Warren showing more passion than any of the others. Some of them have tried and looked fake. Warren looks real. #DemDebate
01:24:16 Ooo! First candidate going out of order to fight with another one! Fight! #DemDebate
01:28:09 I know the moderators are probably keeping track to keep it somewhat even, but Warren is definitely getting more time. #DemDebate
01:29:40 Klobuchar gets in a one liner to much applause! #DemDebate
01:30:30 Retweeted @SamWangPhD 01:02:58 The coming boomlet:Step 1: Start with obscure candidate X.
Step 2: X says something catchy.
Step 3: The press goes wild!
Step 4: X inches up in polls.
Step 5: More coverage & digging…and surprise! Something bad happens.
Step 6: X drops in the polls.

Time elapsed: 1-2 months. in reply to SamWangPhD
01:31:23 1/4 of the way through the first night now. #DemDebate
01:31:53 Booker always has a really funny look on his face when they first come to him. #DemDebate
01:33:06 I’ve never understood why people were excited about O’Rourke. This debate is not helping me with that. #DemDebate
01:36:15 Moderator using his super dramatic voice. #DemDebate
01:37:03 Castro: вЂњIt should piss us all off.вЂќ #DemDebate
01:38:03 Now Booker breaks out the Spanish. #DemDebate
01:39:56 Booker always looks so severe. #DemDebate
01:42:09 Castro and O’Rourke talking over each other. It is OK to take turns. #DemDebate
01:45:26 Missed a couple minutes, but sounds like they were talking all over each other again. #DemDebate
01:46:39 For any Spanish speakers watching this, does the candidate flipping to Spanish for part of an answer actually change how you think about them in any way? If so, it is positive or negative? Or does it depend on how well they can speak Spanish? #DemDebate
01:48:44 Retweeted @authorlmendez 01:47:33 I just end up testing how well they speak https://t.co/nkQ6pObLLy
01:52:16 Retweeted @jessicashortall 01:50:53 Yeah, it’s kind of pander-y. Partly because it’s very high level. Specific policy stuff is done in English. https://t.co/FcCsrYxqbl
01:52:58 Klobuchar gets in another one liner. On that metric at least, she is ahead. #DemDebate
01:55:31 A thought on the format again. I don’t feel like any of these candidates are really breaking through and leaving a memorable impression. Everyone gets lost in the noise of too many people on the stage to keep track of them all. #DemDebate
01:57:58 Retweeted @maxwelltani 01:38:05 admittedly none of the candidates have referenced the size of their penis during this debate yet https://t.co/jV0Rm9UadJ
01:58:32 Retweeted @PoliticalEmilia 01:58:18 Slowly losing more and more respect for candidates who refuse to answer the question.
I’m tired of this. If you’re running to be the President of the United States, you should know how to answer questions about policy. #DemocraticDebate
02:00:12 Moderator switch. Maddow is a good replacement. Todd is not. #DemDebate
02:00:57 Audio issues. Exciting. #DemDebate
02:02:08 Bad enough audio problems they take a break. Ouch. Some audio engineer is having a bad evening. #DemDebate
02:04:28 Retweeted @MileHighBrendan 02:03:19 THANKS OBAMA https://t.co/7U2HDdlLJY
02:09:14 Warren’s answer about needing research on effective approaches to gun violence and treating it as a public health issue sounds like a dodge initially, but it is actually a very reasonable answer. #DemDebate
02:14:47 I’m not sure Todd asking basically the same question to a bunch of these candidates, worded slightly different each time, actually adds much here. #DemDebate
02:17:03 People, people. Maddow was moving on from guns. Stop going back there. #DemDebate
02:18:22 The answer to if any SCOTUS justices nominated by a Democrat would be confirmed if the Republicans still control the Senate is no. Doesn’t matter who the Democrat is. #DemDebate
02:20:55 I’m ready for tomorrow’s debate already. Are we done yet? #DemDebate
02:22:23 This McConnell question is stupid in all its forms. The straightforward answer is вЂњMcConnell would block everything, we will figure out ways to work around him without new legislation and without SCOTUS.вЂќ #DemDebate
02:26:31 So far the only things I’ll remember from this: Warren was passionate and sounds like she knows what she is talking about. Klobuchar had some good one liners. Booker looks really serious. O’Rourke has always been overrated. Everybody else was completely forgettable. #DemDebate
02:27:10 This debate needs more Maddow and less Todd. #DemDebate
02:30:56 30 minutes to go. #DemDebate
02:37:36 Yup. Saw this too. Less than a second each time though. #DemDebate https://t.co/YH9G46jD2D
02:39:20 Tulsi breaks out. Hadn’t noticed her before really. She is passionate about this. #DemDebate
02:40:38 Gabbard wins this exchange hands down. #DemDebate
02:42:00 5 second lightning round answers are stupid. Future moderators, don’t do this in debates. #DemDebate
02:47:11 Chuck Todd just seems like a huge ass.
02:48:57 Retweeted @Blatherscribe 02:47:28 @abulsme I’m not sure Chuck Todd actually adds much anywhere. in reply to abulsme
02:49:02 Retweeted @imbou 02:01:20 @abulsme Chuck Todd is waste of natural resources in reply to abulsme
02:49:35 Retweeted @GoldyHA 02:49:11 John Delaney, amirite @Atrios? https://t.co/yvrMVjYbLE
02:50:00 Closing statements! Yay! #DemDebate
02:51:36 Retweeted @b_schaffner 02:47:26 Is there a threshold that moderators have to meet in order to make it into the next debate? If so, can we make sure Chuck Todd doesn’t get there?
02:53:08 I feel like not only did Todd not do a good job, but he kept Maddow from doing as good a job as she could have if he didn’t hog the time. #DemDebate
02:56:40 Was Biden even mentioned once? If so, I missed it. #DemDebate
02:56:54 A couple more short video cuts in the last few minutes. #DemDebate
02:58:54 Warren gets the final final statement. #DemDebate
03:02:18 Well, it is done. My summary is basically what I posted half an hour ago. Only notable thing in the last half hour is Gabbard jumping out with her strong вЂњout of AfghanistanвЂќ stand. That was also memorable. #DemDebate https://t.co/EGbW0pGo3j in reply to abulsme
03:06:01 @shelleyaw123 @JayInslee @TimRyan Yeah, he had a couple moments, but none that I still remember now that it is over. Lots of people said Warren would be helped by being with these people instead of tomorrow. i think my initial take was right, and she loses out by not being with the other big names. #DemDebate in reply to shelleyaw123
03:06:58 @shelleyaw123 @BetoORourke He has never impressed me at all, and tonight didn’t change that. I just don’t get the appeal. Maybe you can explain it to me. Do you think he helped himself tonight? #DemDebate in reply to shelleyaw123
03:18:33 Retweeted @shelleyaw123 03:14:41 @abulsme @BetoORourke As a Ind/Dem in Texas you can feel completely overwhelmed by the evangelical right. Like nothing you will ever do can break through that wall. His run against Cruz that came so close to breaking it down makes him a hero to many of us. But tonight he was off his game some. in reply to abulsme
03:28:17 Retweeted @FiveThirtyEight 03:23:38 Cory Booker spoke the most words tonight.
Beto O’Rourke was second.
Elizabeth Warren was third.
Chuck Todd, one of the debate’s moderators, spoke just 4 words less than Warren and more words than 7 of the candidates on stage.
https://t.co/01rAtNoxua https://t.co/JKixEyiHAb
04:12:28 Retweeted @jackmjenkins 03:38:10 Huh. Not sure if this is new or not: Booker just pledged not to take a VP slot if the Democratic nominee is a male.In that instance, he said it should be a woman.
04:24:24 Hmmm https://t.co/8RDiK6XktP

05:51:30 @LauraInMadtown @amyklobuchar Interesting. I guess I missed it. What was the mention in reference to? in reply to LauraInMadtown
14:47:24 Retweeted @DavidCornDC 14:13:22 This means if you care about democracy, you will have to care about state legislative races and fight to elect state lawmakers who will create fair and reasonable districts to ensure truly proportional representation. Life just got harder. https://t.co/J0XXlQAqto
14:52:12 This one is getting less attention, butвЂ¦. this seems bad. https://t.co/eBKAhrNETf
14:55:19 Retweeted @MaxKennerly 14:32:33 Exactly. The gerrymandering will be inherently and intentionally racial, but lawsuits challenging it will get dismissed when the states argue plaintiffs can’t show racial intent вЂњpredominates” over partisan intent. See majority opinion, p. 23. https://t.co/NGWbA0WJef https://t.co/7s304mlag8
14:59:40 Retweeted @nycsouthpaw 14:37:38 This seems to be the nub of itвЂ”Roberts says it would be fine as a constitutional matter for, say, California to send only Democrats to Congress, shutting out the state’s millions of Republican voters entirely. https://t.co/Op5HtpJJuW https://t.co/9Eepl3C8UA
15:13:54 Sigh. https://t.co/a6zDZiQnOV
15:16:13 Retweeted @mcclure111 14:57:51 In other words, the citizenship-question ruling is because of the naked partisan intent. Not because it systematically disadvantages one party and systematically disempowers immigrant populations.If they come back with a slightly better prepared cover story it might be allowed https://t.co/poeC0pmBX9
15:20:54 Thread https://t.co/qPu883Kc8P
15:21:46 Retweeted @rudepundit 15:07:00 Mostly, today, let’s congratulate Mitch McConnell. The success of his completely dickish, unethical, but tragically legal blocking of Merrick Garlan’s nomination has paid off. Democrats should learn from this and figure out how to be even more dickish.
15:22:45 Retweeted @jasoncherkis 14:28:17 As these horrible Supreme Court rulings are announced вЂ” think about what Biden has been saying since he launched his campaign. Republicans will come to their senses once Trump is gone and Biden is in the White House. And see how utterly naive that is.
15:26:12 Retweeted @KevinMKruse 13:34:07 Just the chairman of the the president’s 2016 campaign making a perp walk, nothing to see here, carry on. https://t.co/4LVXWlhFxi

15:59:28 Retweeted @jdesmondharris 01:15:31 I find myself surprised that after all we’ve been through over the past few years, politicians still talk like politicians. I didn’t think there were still rules or standards. You’d think people would be starting their responses with “First of all, f*ck this”
16:00:44 Retweeted @zachdcarter 15:36:39 The Thomas/Gorsuch/Kavanaugh dissent is a declaration of madness. Who are we, Supreme Court Justices, to conclude that the administration has lied? All we have are these facts that conflict directly with what the administration told us! https://t.co/QShmAfKGsa
16:22:12 Retweeted @maximlott 16:15:06 As dust settles on last night night’s debate, the betting odds show no huge changes.But @EWarren gained a percent, and Castro doubled his odds from 0.3% to 0.7% (but he’s still below 1%.) Gabbard and Booker also rose.
O’Rourke and Klobuchar fell.

02:15:16 I honestly expect Mueller to stick to his word and essentially not say anything other than things like вЂњthe answer to that is on page 136вЂќ, and therefore for the testimony to be rather underwhelming.
06:05:27 Retweeted @KamalaHarris 01:13:28 These families seeking asylum are often fleeing extreme violence. And what happens when they arrive? Trump says, ‘Go back to where you came from.’ That is inhumane. Children are dying. This is a stain on our moral conscience. https://t.co/NHly7QTiAq

01:10:28 Retweeted @IsaacDovere 2019-06-21 16:03:56 I spent some time digging through Biden’s comments on race over the years…. what he said this week is part of a career-long pattern of thinking his own party’s activists go too far and even the awful the opposition on the other side can be understood:

01:45:41 Retweeted @Popehat 2019-06-21 17:52:06 @radleybalko I wrote some time ago how even the best legal advice — shut up and dont’ talk to the cops — can have dramatically harsher consequences for poor people.https://t.co/RSwkFETbT4 in reply to radleybalko
01:47:38 Retweeted @radleybalko 2019-06-20 23:38:06 This is a thread about time and the criminal justice system. We tend to think that the time of judges and lawyers is expensive. They’re professional people doing important things, so their time is scarce. We also tend to think that accused people tend to be poor…

01:58:51 Retweeted @gtconway3d 00:40:58 So, as usual, Trump lied.вЂњAdministration officials said Trump was told earlier Thursday how many casualties could occur if a strike on Iran was carried out and that he had given the green light that morning to prepare the operation.вЂќ https://t.co/bsWU4bNub5

02:06:56 Retweeted @goldengateblond 2019-06-21 21:52:48 The president was accused of rape and it’s barely a blip in the news cycle. I just think it’s important to mention just how fucked up that is. Carry on.

13:15:52 Retweeted @NPRinskeep 13:03:38 One may use these numbers to argue that Trump is not so bad. But by the same logic, the same numbers show it was always false to claim Obama and Democrats favored вЂњopen borders,вЂќ and our immigration debate is driven by something other than facts. https://t.co/IMrtpYwb7G

20:45:58 @DaveMc99TA I think the press feels like this is the 16th public accusation, not counting the ones who won’t go on the record, and if #1 to #15 didn’t go anywhere & didn’t change anything, why would #16? So therefore it is old news & not all that interesting compared to other shiny objects. in reply to DaveMc99TA
20:56:39 Retweeted @Mimirocah1 19:23:59 Lots of talk about whether Trump could be prosecuted raping Ms. Carroll. He can’t be. The statute of limitations is the one in effect in 1990 which was 5 (or in some cases 10) yrs. In 2006, NYS eliminated the statute of limitations for rape but it can’t apply retroactively.@MSNBC
